Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Flamingo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Higher floors (5th–7th) facing away from Av. Arenales — likely the rear or courtyard side. These reduce street noise and get more natural light in Lima’s Central District.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on floors 1–3 facing Av. Arenales. Street-level traffic rattles glass, and the pavement noise carries well into the early morning. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — the motor hum is audible in older 3-star buildings.
Best views
The address faces Av. Arenales, a busy four-lane avenue. Upper rear rooms (likely courtyard or neighbouring building views) give a quieter urban outlook — not scenic, but less chaotic than the street.
Quietest floors
Floors 5, 6 and 7 — furthest from ground-floor noise and above the typical street-level acoustic layer.
🔊 Noise notes
Av. Arenales is a main artery in Cercado de Lima — buses, taxis and mototaxis run from 6am past midnight. The hotel’s 3-star structure probably uses standard double-glazing, not acoustic glass. Street-level bars and corner shops add sporadic late-night chatter.
Insider tips
1. Request a high floor when booking (over the phone or at check-in) — the lift works to 7 floors, so top levels are quieter and easier for luggage. 2. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper; the Arenales traffic doesn’t stop for siesta.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
